I don't really know for sure but I can't really see why birth control would effect the pregnancy test. Good luck! .Michelle

Birth control will not affect the results of an at home pregnancy test. If you have any doubts then you should read the directions that come with the test. There is normally a faq sections. They normally state that birth control will not affect the results. I hope you get the results that you are hoping for!

As the others have said birth control has no effect what so ever on an hpt - hpt's measure/test for hcg which is produced during pregnancy and as birth control pills certainly do not contain this then there's no worry of them causing an inacurate result. Take a test, they're very simple to use. Best of luck
